He finished in 5th place in the Tokyo Grand Prix, but is one of the cars whose engine explodes in Italy. He recovers in time to race in the London Grand Prix and the celebrity race at Radiator Springs. His name is a reference to Sir Nigel Gresley, designer of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) A4, the fastest steam locomotive class in the world. Shu Todoroki Shu Todoroki #7(voiced by Erik Passoja), a prototype racer resembling the Lola B08/60, represents Japan. His coach, a Mazda 787B, was the only Japanese winner at Le Mans. His crew chief, a Nissan S30 named Mach Matsuo, is one of the most popular Japanese sports cars of all time. Todoroki is one of the racers whose engine explodes, in spite of the allinol fuel. Miguel Camino Pamplona’s Miguel Camino #5, painted to match the Spanish flag, gained fame as a toreador in the Running of the Bulldozers before joining the Grand Touring Sport racing circuit. Though he somewhat resembles a Ferrari 458 Italia, his name is an obvious play on the Chevrolet El Camino. Max Schnell Max Schnell #4, voiced by James Rankin, originally a production sedan from Stuttgart, increased his horsepower and converted to carbon fibre to refine his build and drop his weight. His overall design and back story is a nod to Germany's DTM series, and his name is a play on the German phrase "mach schnell" which means to 'do quickly'. Carla Veloso Carla Veloso #8 (voiced by Jossara Jinaro), a prototype racer and the only female competitor in the World Grand Prix, represents Brazil, where she has been known to dance the night away at the famous "CAR-nival". She is seen in all three races and also in the one at Radiator Springs. Carla has no lines in most versions of Cars 2; however, in the Brazilian version of the film she replaces Jeff Gorvette in his dialogue scenes, being voiced by Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte in the Brazilian version. Raoul ÇaRoule Dubbed the "World's Greatest Rally Car", Raoul ÇaRoule #6 (voiced by Jerome Dalton) comes from Alsace, France, where he once joined the famous "Cirque du Voiture" French circus. Raoul is most likely based on French rally driver and nine-time WRC winner Sébastien Loeb, with whom he shares the similar backstory and car design. Rip Clutchgoneski Rip Clutchgoneski #10, described as the rookie of the World Grand Prix, represents the Republic of New Rearendia (thus being the only competitor in the film representing a fictional country). Rip's design is reminiscent of Formula One-like production cars, such as the Caparo T1 and the Hulme F1.
